In a Year 1 mathematics lesson, students are invited to explore the concept of place value within 50 through a series of engaging activities. The lesson begins with a 'Fluent in Four' revision exercise that challenges pupils to apply their arithmetic skills. They are tasked with solving problems such as finding half of 16 and then subtracting double 4, as well as performing simple addition like 5 plus 8. The exercise also prompts students to think about the concept of 'one more' and 'one less' than a given number, reinforcing their understanding of numerical order and sequencing.

The lesson continues with a practical exercise that involves finding combinations of numbers that add up to 5, using both two cards and three cards to demonstrate that there can be multiple solutions to a problem. This activity not only enhances their addition skills but also introduces them to the idea of number composition. To further cement their learning, students are asked to count objects, such as small yellow buckets and small red buckets, and then calculate the total number of buckets. This part of the lesson not only helps with counting and addition but also introduces the concept of grouping and categorising objects based on their attributes.
